Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery 1t is. Not only the
larger air passages, but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choAed with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what theydo, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose and head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid of There is just one sure way
to get rid of them That is to take Boshee' s
German Syrup. which any druggist will
sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if
everything else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain.

A Dangerous Mule.

One of our promin ent citizens has a
mule that under certain circumstances is
very dangerous 1t is said of this mule
that whenever any one tells lie in his
presence he Immediately resents it by
kicking him? In other words this mule is
a mule of religious tendencies and is a
self constituted Anannias killer. In a con-
versation with the owner last evening he
told CAPITAL reporter that the numer-
Gus lame people seen going about the city
lately had been kicked by his mule, and
that since the campaign had opened he
had been compelled to hobble him. This
he states was one Of the hardest jobs he
had undertaken for long time; that in
the assembling of his friends of the laity
to assist him, they were all more or less
injured and finally he had to call on sew.
eral ministers to assist him before he
could accomplish his purpose. The gen.
tleman who owns this mule is something
of politician and says that on election
day he intends to have his friends vote
early" and after they have finished he
will turn that mule loose. near the polls.
Somebody please beware.

What a Sign Suggested.

A few evenings since.a gentleman while
walking on the Government farm had his
attention attracted to the occupation of
some small boys who were bearing BE-
tween them large basketful of acorns.
On inquiring what they intended to do
with them, the gentleman was informed
by the juveniles, in tones indicative of
pleasurable auticipations, that they pur-
posed selling them to Mr.. II. w. Good
man, the well-known druggist on Mary
land Avenue.
How much will you get for them p
asked the gentleman.
About four cents a quart, | reckon
anyway we'll be satisfied with that re
Sponded the elder of the boys.
but what use will Mr. Goodman make
of them9'' again inquired the gentleman.
"Oh, he will buy them to make acorn
salve."
The youngsters had observed the sign
"A Corn Salve" displayed on the show
case in the drug store, and probably
thought the labor they had undertaken
would provide sufficient pocket money
for the coming circus.

Sundry Boards.

The Annapolis correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun speaking of matters before
the Board of Public Works yesterday
says: "A committee from the First M. 4.
church asked for the removal of circus
bill board on the State grounds in front of
the church, and the board promised to
look into the matter" What we want to
know is which board is going to do the
looking into the matter, whether it is the
circus bill board that intends to look into
the Board of Public Works or whether
the Board of Public Works will look into
the bill boards. These boards are getting
a little mixed. A board of trustees called
on board of public works about circus
bill board. Somebody please straighten
up the boards

Acquitted Of the Charge of Theft.

James Bruce of the U. S. Marine Corps
was committed to Jail in Baltimore on the
End of September, charged with stealing
$3.50 worth of jewelry from Misses Emma
Ray and Mollie Martin. He was tried be-
fore Judge Duffy of the Baltimore Crimi-
nal Court yesterday and acquitted. He
states that while visiting these ladies he
was robbed of $l2 90 and they not having
the money to return gave him gold

then had him arrested while he had the
necklace on his person for the purpose of
Matchmaking him. He was tried before

reported at the .Earine Barracks yester-

Prize Fight Between Two Fourth
Class Cadets.

This afternoon about o'clck num-
Der of cadets were seen going In the di.
rection of The Naval Academy Gymna-
sinm and our reporter, who happened TO
be there at the time. seeing them deter
mined TO go too. After arriving there,
two of the cadets stripped to the waist
and dressed in trunks. only had mill
with bare knuckles In the first round
they knocked and bruised each other
about the face and body in severe man
ner until both became exhausted. After
a short rest the seconds called time and
they went at it again. and succeeded in
drawing blood, one of them receiving q
bad cash on the nose They continued
to belt each other Justify, regardless OF
consequences If caught by the authori-
ties, until a Waterman suspecting some
thing wrong, investigated and reported
them to the proper authorities. BY this
time they were both badly used Up, but
both game" The fight was stopped
and the principals aud seconds will
probably all be court martialed. The
cause of the difficulty is unknown. Some

InBrief and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery. mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done q
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American PEG
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:--Nos happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle =

How liops T. A. Collins was Trented by
British Customs Officers.
BELFAST, July 2s.-A sensation was
created here to-day in consequence OF tho
publication in several newspapers Of re.
ports that Hon. P. A. Collins, of Boston
Mass, and his entire party had been ar.
rested by the Government on his arrival
from Glasgow There was, however, no
truth IN the reports as published, and but
slight grounds for their insertion. The
facts are that when Mr.. Collins and his
party reached Belfast they were detained
in the custom house with much formality
and their baggage subjected to rigid ex.
animation. Every parcel Of it was un-
packed and infinitely examined. Even
the smallest handbag carried was opened
and upset. When the trunks were emp.
tied, the bottoms and sides were rail-
sounded for the purpose OF ascertsining
whether they contained secret chambers
Tor smuggling goods or dynamite. Whist
made all this the more exaspera,ing TO the
travellers was the fact that the work WIS
performed by detectives aud not by Oue-
toms.houso officers. Mr.. Collins was
manifestly astounded and irritatsd at the
treatment to which he was eubiected. 3

Beginning appropriately with the tariff

protests against unrestricted immigration
and takes strong ground on the correlated
question Of the disIrauchisement Of large

It offers no opologieu for favoring liberal

abolished Congress should 60 further and

the revenue thus derived, which hurts
